After a string of rejections from men who tell her they could never, ever, ever see her “that way,” awkward third-grade teacher Micaela Blei signs up for a mysterious course called “The Divine Feminine,” and feels like she might have found the key to the perfect life. Turns out if you’re an A student, you can get an A in anything–including men. Pretty soon she’s learning to "conjure" her desires with vision boards, flirtations, and even a daring jumbotron viewing party for her, ahem ... "divine center."

Really Helpful for Stressed-Out Parents!
I bought this audiobook for my sister, and it gave her exactly what she needed—real, practical strategies that actually work. She has struggled with managing her reactions when her kids have emotional outbursts, but the DBT and CBT techniques in this guide have been so helpful. The quick calming methods are easy to use in the moment, and the insights on emotional triggers have helped her parent with more patience. If you’re feeling overwhelmed and need a reset, this is a great audiobook to listen to!

Family dynamics transformation!
Shannon Snyder’s audiobook was truly enlightening and transformative for my approach to parenting. As a parent constantly juggling with the endless responsibilities and emotions that come with raising kids, I found this book to be immensely practical and empowering.
The way Snyder integrates DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) skills into everyday parenting scenarios is nothing short of brilliant. The strategies for managing anger and preventing emotional outbursts have not only reduced stress within our household but have also strengthened the bond I share with my children. The book feels like a roadmap for navigating the complexities of family dynamics with grace and empathy.
What I appreciated most is its relatable tone, making it feel like a conversation with a wise friend rather than a lecture. Each chapter provides real-life examples and practical exercises that I could immediately apply, which made the whole learning experience engaging and effective.
I wholeheartedly recommend it to any parent seeking to cultivate a more harmonious family environment while nurturing deeper connections with their children.

Game-Changer for Stressed Parents
Parenting is tough, and when emotions run high, it can feel completely overwhelming. This book gave me practical, real-life strategies to manage my own stress and emotions, which in turn transformed how I respond to my child’s outbursts. The DBT and CBT techniques are easy to understand and actually work, helping me stay calm and improve our family’s communication. I love that it focuses on both parent and child, instead of just offering discipline advice. If you’re struggling with anger, frustration, or emotional exhaustion, this book is a must-read. It’s already made a huge difference in our home!

I'm glad I can share this with my now grown children when they have their own kids. Like I said at the beginning, parenting is HARD and this helps!
